About this market

The District Makers Market brings a curated burst of local creativity to the Docklands once a month, filling the main atrium of District Docklands with artists, designers, and craftspeople from across Melbourne. Operated by the team behind the Rose St. Artists' Market in Fitzroy, it carries the same emphasis on quality handmade and design-led work - think original jewellery, fine art, sustainable fashion, homewares, and specialty food. The fully covered, indoor setting inside the busy District Docklands shopping precinct (opposite H&M, near the big wheel) makes it an easy all-weather outing, with tram connections from multiple city routes and 90 minutes of free parking on site. Stallholders are selected by a panel that includes practicing artists and arts professionals, so the mix stays fresh and genuinely maker-driven rather than reseller-heavy.
